They wanted real life human interaction and presumably, real hugs, not just the Facebook version of them. The couple devised a clever, but simple scheme to capture that moment. They got their friends and family together and had them pose together for pictures, but instead of saying “Cheese!” they had them say, “Kat’s pregnant!” With a little sleight of hand, the cameras were set to video instead of photo and the reactions to the announcement were all caught on film. [Kat’s sister](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCm7jLHUMhhyxUI2JQ1kovlw) edited the various videos together and uploaded the completed clip to YouTube as an incredible digital keepsake for the family — and a great idea for other soon-to-be parents. \[H/T [Uproxx](http://uproxx.com/webculture/2014/11/pregnancy-announcement-group-photo-trick-video/)\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3589532/perfect-pregnancy-announcement-couple-tricks-family/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3589532/perfect-pregnancy-announcement-couple-tricks-family/"},"headline":"This Couple Tricked Everyone Into Being in Their Pregnancy Announcement","datePublished":"2014-11-17T20:08:07.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:14:39.622Z","description":"They created a brilliant keepsake","url":"https://time.com/3589532/perfect-pregnancy-announcement-couple-tricks-family/","keywords":["Newsfeed","viral","Parents","kids","Videos","Viral Videos","Children and Families"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Locker","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3589532/perfect-pregnancy-announcement-couple-tricks-family/","name":"This Couple Tricked Everyone Into Being in Their Pregnancy Announcement"}}]}] ```
